haha.
done with 2 papers for my final exam for 1st semester here at unsw. 2 more papers to go and then it will be winter break.
air tickets to go back to msia during this winter break, as of now, is only about 730aud. rarh. i want to go home too!!!! but ya, will be staying here. looking forward to mum's trip to sydney :)
weather is cold cold. walking to racecourse to sit for exams is cold. sitting in the exam room for hours is even colder. wonder how i m going to survive the looong winter.

good luck to all who are having exams. enjoy yourselves to all those who are still on holiday!! :)

12-hour day
sorry, havent been updating my blog. sorry, my bad.
anyway, just had a 12-hour long day of stuff. woke up slightly before 8am to prepare for AIESEC Member Review Board (MRB), basically this final interview before i qualify as an AIESEC exchange participant. i m applying for development program, and looking at going to african countries (ghana, togo or south africa) and i PASSSED it!! woohooo!! waited for my turn for nearly 2 hours. and i was actually quite tired when i went in there for interview. there were 3 panelists (psychologist, AIESEC alumni and corporate person) met and talked to quite many people too. and cos we were waiting for the interviews to finish, they made us sing and dance! it was really funny, cos we didnt know the lyrics! lol. anyway, great time spent! :)
then i had to rush to Usyd for NCG welfare comm meeting. being always following people around, i dont know my way there. haha. i knew that i can get there by takin bus 370. but i missed it and it would only come half an hour after that. rarh. then i walked to this bus stop for bus number 10. and guess what? i missed it too!!! the bus driver didnt wait for me, although i was running like mad. but well, cant blame him also, cos i was still quite far from the bus stop. haha. so ended up taking a bus to central and then took another bus to Usyd. thanks to yan ying for trying to tell me the way. and thanks to jenny too, whom i finally called cos i just couldnt find the bus stop. hahaha. anyway, made it there 10 minutes late. haha
meeting ended at about 4pm and i was seriously famished! only had 2 slices of bread for breakfast and a quarter of foot long subway sandwich at about 1230pm. so got a muffin and cappucino at the usyd cafe there and i was reading micro while eating, and waiting to play netball there at 6pm. got tired at about 530pm and decided to go in and watch them play futsal. haha. :)
anyway, realizations of the day: i need to bulild up on my stamina. i dont feel like i was playing like how i normally play today, got to find out what went wrong.
left usyd at 8pm in yalis's car. thanks ya, for dropping me at anzac parade :)
now i m here. got to start on my assignment really soon. but i really feel like taking a nap first.
oh ya, peeps, pls help me think if i should go for the AIESEC exchange. any inputs is welcomed :)

melb road trip
oh ya. i m back from melbourne road trip. it really is a trip to be remembered.
despite all the getting lost, finding our way on maps, sitting in the car for 22 hours, having not enough sleep etc etc, the trip was enjoyable and i really enjoyed myself! hahaha
and now i feel like going for another road trip, cos road trip allows us to really manage our time, make going around so much easier and convenient! haha.
photos are all on facebook now. but i will try to upload a few when i have time.
sis and i extended our road trip for 2 days to go to my uncle's place. as my sis said: monthly growth is only visible in infants! haha. i love my little cousin and the not that little cousin. woohoo!

sime darby online assessment
xiuling just spent the last 2.5 hours in front of the laptop. i happily applied for sime darby scholarships and there is this online assessment thingy. was supposed to do it back in kl on 10th april, but ya, i cant fly back just for it and the notice came soooo late.
got an email yesterday that i m supposed to do it today. so i replied the person that i will be free at 10am (malaysia time), meaning 12pm here. then no one called. rarh! so i tried calling sime darby and it was said to be after office hour. LOL. so xiuling smartly emailed the person again.
the person finally called at 3pm (aus time). haha. i was looking at the phone number and wondering why is there a spore phone number calling. hahaha.
but anyway, here is the thing.
i was supposed to do a verbal test and a numerical test, and then a personality test.
the numerical and verbal test both have 24 questions to be completed in 20 minutes! rarh! didnt manage to finish them. and they dont put question numbers. so it is practically impossible to know how many questions i have left while i was doing, unless i counted. but given that short time and the long questions, a bit impossible sia. haha. anyway, i think i left 1 question blank for numerical test and 3 for the verbal one.
verbal, sounds like i would have to talk, right? hahahahaha. actually, it was reading a passage and then choosing 2 statements that are true out of the 4 given. the same passage for about 3/4 questions. but the passages are pretty long and super informative. haha.
anyway, the personality test is 300 questions! wow! i was like, omg. 300!! maybe the personality test will be super accurate sia :) can i get the results, please, sime darby, so that i know who i m! LOL
ok, so ya, mind blowing 2.5 hours and i m going back to my accounting and moot!
hope to hear good news from sime darby (please please, despite my poor performance at the tests)

week 5 has come to an end. i really think that i havent been studying enough. biological clock is all screwed up too. i need to change. change. change. and the only way i can change is to make myself change. ok, sounds retarded. but ya, it is up to me!!!! so ya, xiuling, jiayou! haha

i realised this is quite long. LOL
sorry for not updating this blog as often as i should have. but still, thanks for visiting. haha
anyway, i thought this was worth noting down.
today, my law lecturer said that he received an email from the vice chancellor yesterday that as a mean to reduce use of electricity, they will have to share offices and were supposed to fill in a form that was attached. they will have to specify the times at which they want to use the offices and who they prefer to share offices with. and then the file attached said 'happy april's fool' LOL so ya, law academics to enjoy april's fool ya :)
anyway, had qma test. was quite tough. i really wonder how fair this is. cos the level of difficulty differ quite a lot between papers. this is the first time they have tutorial test for qma. yes, it is not easy to come up with many many different sets of questions cos there are just so many qma tutorial classes on different days and times. but still, the level of difficulty shouldnt differ by that much and we shouldnt have one paper testing on this one chapter that is easy while another testing on another chapter that is significantly a lot more tedious and requires a loooot more thinking. so ya, pls, do sth about it. scale the marks! :)
oh ya, congratulations to nj indian dance for getting gold with honours too. and of course, to catholic high band for getting gold with honours! aik, jiayou when it comes to your turn o :)
next, my hometown seems to be pretty scary nowadays, with many cases of kidnapping and even murder. is the global financial crisis driving people nuts? it is such a joke to have to feel extremely insecure and wary in a place where you have been living for many many years. come on, please, save my nice nice sweet small home town :)
next, i m going to play netball for unsw mso (malaysian student organizatin) on this coming saturday (4th april 2009). quite excited about it, cos i havent played a competitive netball game since long long ago! haha. hopefully it turns out well :)
before i forget, cogratulations to yao for his partial success in getting a part time teaching job in a private school. hopefully after next week, it will be confirmed as a success. Haha.
one more week of studies and then it is one week break (easter break). going on a road trip to melbourne. leaving on 10th and dont know when i m coming back yet. should be either 16th april of 17th april. seriously looking forward to it. woohooo!!!!!!!
court report for law! thanks to michele and my darling ping ping for helping me to edit it. i havent written an essay since my GP essay for A level. wahahahahaha. and knowing my english language standard, glad that you guys are helping! :) thanks soooo much and enjoy your lives in singapore!! :)
thanks to kyloon and kassie too, for being able to stand this not very fair dinner system, that doesnt really require me to cook. THANKS A MILLION! wahahahaha
and i should really start studying and making notes and all!! xiuling is going to study............... hopefully. haha
thanks for reading :)
